第7题：
People suffering from accidents incurred at work or from occupational diseases receive preferential treatment by the social security service compared with those suffering from civil accidents and ordinary illnesses.
本题考核知识点：现在分词作定语、过去分词作定语、过去分词作状语的译法
该句的主干是people … receive preferential treatment。其中suffering from accidents …or from occupational diseases是现在分词作定语修饰主语people，考生在翻译时可以按照汉语的习惯，将定语放到名词前面。incurred at work是过去分词作定语，修饰这一词组前的accidents，可意译为“因工受伤”。compared with those suffering … 是过去分词结构作状语，翻译时，状语部分可放在句首，译为“与．．．相比”。此外，考生应将该部分中those一词所指代的对象译出，以免产生歧义。联系上下文可得，它是泛指代词，可译为“人们”。Those 后面的现在分词词组仍然充当定语。
词汇：Occupational diseases“职业病”；preferential treatment“优待”；incur“招致”；social security service社会保障服务；civil“市民的，公民的”，这里与work 相对，译为“个人的”。
译文：与那些遭受个人意外和忍受普通疾病折磨的人相比，因公受伤或者患有职业病的人在社会保障服务方面享有优待。
